I'm still in the land of the living... and the land of MFW if not in a regular posting routine.
What's my news?
Well... I paid off my student loan... I paid off my car loan... I saved 3x my monthly salary in an ISA... I saved £10k in joint savings...
But...
I still have £131,338 on the mortgage.MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
MSE/MFW stuff last week:
New joint savings account - 1.4% interest boosted to 1.6%
Transfer of old ISA to another provider completed.
Initiated change of old joint savings to individual savings (because 1.4% isn't that bad and I like having my own pot to save to for car repairs, gym membership and Christmas).
Boosted regular transfers to ISA by £210 (this used to be my car direct debit).
5 days of packed lunches
1 day of car sharing
Price match for a Christmas present =£28 saving
Phew!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
